AIM
This follows on from the Thermalling course, as pilots master the skills of ridge soaring and turn their attention to thermal flying, the focus leads to cross country flight. The challenge and adventure of flying in unfamiliar surroundings is unbeatable. However, flying in the mountains requires a more advanced flying technique. This 3 day course aims to give an introduction to mountain flying with the objective of looking at the necessary skills and decisions that give us the best chance of thermalling away from the familiar environment of the ridge to the freedom of the open skies.
PARAGLINDING SITES
For gliding, it depends upon weather condition. The flying season in Nepal commences from November to February. But the best months is between November and December. The main area for flying in Nepal is the Annapurna region, more specifically the Pokhara valley. The micro-climate of the valley makes it an ideal area for flying, with far more constant conditions than the Kathmandu valley 150km east. The gliding is offered in Mahabharat range however, the more is done in Pokhara, the beautiful lakeside town at the bottom of the Annapurna Himal.
